Shenmue City returns to first game's location... hopefully with less creepy-ass Gollum-esque OAPs

PC and mobile spin-off goes back to Yokosuka

We've missed Shenmue like an alcoholic misses their usual triple whiskey Sunday morning eye-opener. While we're sad the upcoming social focused PC and mobile-based Shenmue City isn't the proper sequel we've all been blubbing for over the best part of a decade, at least we've now got some details on it. Read inside, where all will be revealed.

Hitting Yahoo!'s Mobage social gaming service this winter, the game will act as a sidestory to the main series. More interestingly, it will also take place in Yokosuka, the Japanese city where the original Shenmue is based.

You'll control one of several new characters. Sadly, just looking at two of them is causing 'Skate from Streets of Rage II fury' to rise in us.
